MADISON SQUARE GARDEN.

The ground on which the long, low, pc
culiar building stands was purchased in diff
ferent lots and at different times for the
New York and Harlem railroad, beginning in
1S47. No part of it has been bought later
than 1853. Some of it was purchased from
Archbishop Hughes. At first the railroad
company made of it small starting office at
Twenty-sixth street and Fourth avenue for
the city car line In 1854 a building was put
up which was used for the reception of milk
trains and the delivery of milk and farm
produce at night. In 1868 that building was
torn down and a passenger station for the
New York, New Haven and Hartford rail
road built When the Grand Central station
was completed and opened in 1871 the garden
building was abandoned for passenger pur-
poses, and was leased to z. L. Barnum. 1t
was used as "A museum and summer garden
10y Shook & Gilmore for time, and they put
the building in about the condition it is now
in. 1t is said that during the last ten years it
has been something of an incubus on the
hands of the Harlem road, and that negotia-
tions for its sale have been frequent and
futile.
The purchasers are number of New York
ers who have formed a company whose inten-
tion is to build on the ground now occupied
by the garden large permanent exhibi-
ton building, and thus preserve this central
and historic ground for public use. The price
paid is reported to be $1,000, 600. In 1878 Bar
mum offered S5OO,OO0 for the property, but
the Harlem people held it at $3.50, 900.
The design of the purchasers, as now talked
over, is to give the new building facilities for
horse shows, rooms for dancing and concerts,
and summer music garden, and around the
building booths for trade of a clean and popu-
lar character, with awnings, electric lights,
and everything which will make the place an
attractive shopping center day and night.

Attention Called to an Evil which Prom
Uses to Grow.
A well.known and public-spirited gentle
man, while talking yesterday upon the
always interesting question of an improved
quality of water for drinking purposes, re-
verted to the plan of constructing sewer
along the river shore from point in the
neighborhood of the Hospital to about the
foot of Eighth street, and said:
'It may not be desirable or feasible to
build such sewer as was contemplated a
year or two ago, to carry off the surface
drainage of all North Wheeling, as that
would require a pipe of very large pro-
portions, but think it is practicable to do
enough in this line to relieve the river of
the Impurities which now find their way
into the stream from the northern portion
of town. This pollution OF the water
is bound to increase very much in the
near future. The new pottery now being
erected on the site of the old Superior
works will give employment TO several
hundred men, ana IuC IGsulI CStu Sdobg &c
imagined. Future industrial establish
ments are pretty sure to follow the pottery
in locating in the upper end of town, and
each means, under the present state of at
fairs, large additional amount Of pOllut-
ing matter deposited in the river above the
pumping station. l would Ike to urge the
construction Of 30-inch crock sewer from
the Hospital to point below the water
works, the sewer to have it's northern end
as high up the bank as possible ard
thence to have gradual fall to

such q sewer all water closets, privies,
sinks, etc, should ne drained, with suit

sary. Such a sewer would catch none Of
the surface drainage, but at the same time
it would deposit about all the very objec-
tionable matter in the river below the
pumping station, and would correspond
ingly improve the water supply. The sewer
would not cost such q sum as to place its
construction beyond the means of the city,
and l am sure the people would heartily
endorse the project

SIR: 1t delights MS very much as sons Of
those noble, patriotic heroes OF the late
war, to sit ut the feet of our father and lis
ten to the thrilling adventures and narrow
escapes and deeds of daring of that noble
band; but these men are fast passing away

vacancies made by their removal to their
last resting place. The war is over, the
North and South are practically united
and constitute one grand natiOni sectional
feeling is dying out; the sons of vet
eraus of the South and the sons of
veterans of the North are marching forward
hand in hand. Their old patriotic fathers
have done the work assigned to them,
and have done it nobly, and as they drop
off the shores of time their sons must fill
their places with the same vigilence, and
honor, that their ancestors have done.
AS au aggressive people, We must ad-

come and old issues pass into Oblivion. And
